Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the carrots and cauliflower with 3 tablespoons of the oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine the curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon each of the coriander and cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper and sprinkle over the vegetables. Spread in a single layer and roast, stirring once or twice, until crisp-tender and lightly charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
